Colbert's latest clip just depresses me. I'm alrea

It was cherry-picking at its worst. Alex Jones is crazy but 70-80% of the time he has facts to back him up. This just showed clips of him yelling as he usually does in his rants. No criticism of what he's actually saying. just how he says it and out of context phrases of things that Alex could actually back with real sources.

This is just an ad hominem with no real substance and MSM and Colbert should be ashamed honestly

Opens with Banepostinf about hotheads.
Proceeds to mock someone for being passionate. Eh

>>79736672
>This is just an ad hominem with no real substance
I'd be okay with that if it was funny.

>>79736583
Is Alex next in line for character assassination? Won't work though, he's too funny even when he's wrong.

>>79736771
Alex isn't the smartest guy, but he's a genuinely nice person. Difficult target. May have opposite effect of making him more popular.

And he make a fucking effort. More than I can say for the shitshow the mainstream left is.

I like Alex but the underground joke was p funny imo

>>79736672
I'm just annoyed that he didn't use more clips from Alex Jones that are truly indefensible. Like his bit about the human/fish hybrids in Britain, or when he went on Joe Rogan's podcast and talked about interdimensional aliens.

Seth or bust.

>>79737058
>>79737184
Those were decent jokes, but I think it's the delivery. He's too smug. I think this bit, and probably his whole show would be better if he'd lighten up a little. He's such a stiff during interviews too.

>>79737157
Probably can't use stuff that isn't from Alex's own youtube channel

>>79737157

>It was cherry-picking at its worst

You're right but listed the wrong reasons. It was cherry picking unfunny moments.

Alex Jones is full of those funny moments leaving viewers going WTF.

Example right here: https://youtu.be/LhqUk28OwHs

Even with an easy target, Colbert and his shitty show finds a way to fuck up.

OP's latest thread just depresses me. I'm already pretty tired of the daily threads crying about political comedy, but this wasn't even that. There were hardly any jokes or dank memes. He was showing a clip of Stephen Colbert's opening monologue and making shit up about it, which should be hilarious, but somehow he even screwed that up. People weren't laughing at his lame attempt to perpetuate an alt-right meme. You're a contrarian, you're supposed to make fun of people, but this literally isn't even shitposting, it's a nightly pro-Trump sermon.

Do you think OP ever gets tired of it? Do you think he ever says to himself, "You know, I wonder if there is literally anything else in the world I could make outrage threads about besides late night talk show hosts joking about Donald Trump."

Here it is if you're interested.
>>79736583
Am I crazy, or was it remarkably unfunny?

>>79736583

pretty sad desu

>>79737227
I liked his old show allot more since he was playing a character and it was actually kinda interesting.

He's clearly a very liberal guy and like many liberals he feels he needs to double down on his views in the face of the Trump administration. It's sad so many feel this way when the deeply entrenched people on each side are the real problem but what can you expect from tribal monkeys right? Everybody just wants to see their team win.

>Soooo, Donald Trump...

>>79737227
politics aside I've always found him insufferably smarmy and self satisfied. maybe it's the way his fans I know treat him like he's some sort of modern day jonathan swift.

This is incredible. The way they attack and try to discredit aj is so blatant. There really is an info war, and alex jones is winning. Think about it, this wont stop anyone from listening, it will only encourage people to check him out. It only makes colbert and msm look even more desperate.

Also, alex isnt far right. It pisses me off how they say that about everyone right from center. The gay frogs thing is also 100% true, there have been tons of studies.

>Alex Jones
>Far Right

Pick one and only one, this is bullshit nonsense. Alex Jones is a passionate guy who makes very animated claims. Take the "Turning the Frogs Gay" comment. Is it silly? Yes, but its not wrong, and people still bring it up as an example of Alex being unhinged.

Even in this audio, Alex said 2/3'ds of Houston's frogs are bisexual. That's a statistic that you can factcheck.

People who claim to be a comedian when it benefits them and a political analyst when it doesn't sicken me.

Then you have A LOT of those, my friend.

>>79738112
you're trying too hard

>>79736771
Jones has been going off for years. If they haven't gone after him yet, they probably won't.

There are a lot of people in the conspiracy community that believe Alex Jones is controlled opposition.

>>79738189
Quit sucking Cuckbert's cock you nigger loving fagfuck.

Why do people think that Colbert is supposed to be a legitimate news source?

>>79736771
>character assassination

What is there to assassinate? He acts like a clown on his own. Normies think he's a typical tinfoil.

The Joe Rogan podcast redeemed him a bit, I think.

>>79738219
Because he masquerades himself as one, and people believe him to be legitimate.
I don't care if Colbert denies it. His show is propoganda.

>>79738216
wtf i hate /pol/ now

>>79738247
Alex isn't a clown. He's passionate and animated. Can't really fault him for constantly advertising, it's his own products.

>>79738219
For years I thought Colbert was literally a fictional character, couldn't believe they gave him the late show when Letterman retired.

>>79736583
I don't watch that shit anymore. The show would probably be its mediocre old self if hilldog had won, but now it's a showcase of impotent whining. At least Seth Meyers has experience in this arena, doing actual jokes about politics without being satire. The colbert report was good from what I saw of it, but when he's forced to remove the character, he's nothing special on this show.

After all these years, my man Coco is still where it's at, although I only watch youtube clips now.

>>79738219
I think people associate these comedians with honesty because
>even though they have a team of writers just like a newsroom it's only them on the show, unlike a news station, making it seem like this is just their opinion
>dude im just a comedian lmao

>>79736672
>70-80% of the time
You're a moron. Seriously, most of the time he just says "I saw" or a "guy told me".

>>79738285

He comes off as one, though. Like I said, the Rogan podcast changed my perception of him, but he still needs a filter. Normies take shit like psychic vampires at face value.

>>79738335
If anything the Rogan podcast proved to me he was basically a conman, good at separating fools from their money.

He likely believes about 10% of the shit he says.

>>79738314
He rarely gets political and can go just about anywhere in the world and be hilarious, its a shame his show is rated last.

>>79736583
Oh my god, this guy is so pathetic nowadays.

>>79738219
He thinks he is.

>>79738335
>Normies take shit like psychic vampires at face value.

Exactly, and that's part of the problem. That is such an obvious metaphor its ridiculous. I hope this hit piece drives more liberals to Infowars, just because I think that would be funny.

>>79738356

He had solid facts to back up many of his claims, but then he comes up with shit like ''Buzz Aldrin told me...''

I bet he's regretting giving up The Colbert Report more and more every day

>>79738356
How did Alex come off as a conman? Unless he has some sort of televangelist-tier mansion I have to believe he is well-intentioned.

>>79738458
I mean he sells all the typical survivalist shit, but people are going to be buying it anyway from another seller if he didnt sell it.

>>79738329
No he doesnt you stupid fuck.

>>79738356
Then youre an idiot and dont know what a conman is.

>>79738492
Because hes almost entirely self funded. He doesn depend on sponsors which is what is so special about info wars. Its much better than other places where you need to pay just to watch it

One issue I do have with Alex is that InfoWars is owned by Time Warner.
So how indendent is InfoWars really?

>>79738629
*independent

>>79736583
based Alex

He's the most redpilled man alive right now

for the longest time, I had only heard impressions and parodies of Alex Jones

when I finally heard him actually talk, I was blown away by how good a showman he is.

I like things more conversational so I wouldn't want to listen to him day-to-day, but I totally get why he's so massively popular.

>>79738629
He's controlled opposition, he releases truth about what the future holds than buries it with insane ideas. On the surface his insane ideas are dismissed but the bigger picture ideas, the ones that don't seem quite as insane i.e. new world order are absorbed subconsciously. He's helping to normalize the idea of one world government so people don't completely freak out when it happens.

>>79738629
No it isn't. Colbert on the other hand went from one viacom network to another.

>>79736583
Trump jokes have been old and stale for a long time. They don't magically get funnier if you keep making them.

Alex Jones talks so much about pedophiles it makes me think he might be one.

>>79739216
GRRRRRRR i'm a real man who loves red meat and full bodied grown women that's why i've said this exact phrase 4 times in the last hour.

>>79736583
That was great. Fuck off trumplet.

>>79736583
>Do you think Steven ever gets tired of it? Do you think he ever says to himself, "You know, I wonder if there is literally anything else in the world I could make jokes about besides Donald Trump."

Nope. Without Trump he's got no material.

His show is all about preaching to the choir. Those people don't laugh because the jokes are funny, they laugh because they agree with his politics.

>>79738525
Yes he does. And if you were so sure his statements were based on facts you'd post them.

>a comedian like Colbert isn't funny

Liberals have gotten lazy with their humor since Bush was president. You can say anything about Trump, as long as the audience can tell it's negative, they'll cheer and applaud no matter what.

"My sources" without further explanation is not the same as "facts".

Alex Jones is great. He could talk for hours, starting off relatively sane, then devolve into shouting matches about gay frogs, Martian obelisks, inter-dimensional lizard people and psychic vampire elites hiding in the government.

>>79740791
You could have the whole god damn CBS TV division working on jokes, and they're still going to run a little dry working a daily show.

>>79738769
More like he's adding in insane shit so he doesn't get assassinated, meanwhile the actual substantive and provable things he says slowly makes peoples' minds click.

He's self-discrediting to make himself immune to media attempts at discrediting him. The Colbert segment is an example - it seems limp wristed.

>>79738219
because there's actual people that think he's a actual news source

Alex Jones is a retard but xenoestrogens are a real thing. Colbert shouldn't have used the clips where he talks about them.

Estrogen hormone treatment isn't the same as becoming gay, though.

Alex Jones is a controlled opposition shill whose sole purpose is to discredit credible conspiracy theories/theorists. He takes real conspiracies or alleged conspiracies that might have some basis in truth and lumps them in with psychic shapeshifting vampire aliens.

>>79736583
